Euro 2008 he did nothing, really. There have been at least five players who have had a better tournament. He was a flash in the pan. He's good, but he's not the best in the world, let's be serious.
I probably don't know Zico? I probably know more about football than anyone on this site, I go to games every single week, I have travelled abroad for games, and have done for a bulk of my life. Let's not go trying to demean my knowledge because you wrongly disagree on C. Ronaldo being a striker.
The job of a winger is actually to assist the forwards.

Firstly, I'm sorry if you thought it was like an offensive statement, but I said you probably didn't knew Zico because I didn't know he was a really famous player outside of Brazil, like Pelé is... But I'm glad to know that you know him, and I wasn't misjudging you... So as you know him, you know it's true what I said...
I think C. Ronaldo is the best player because I identify myself with his football style on the field, but for sure there are others players that can at anytime play better than him... I said he was the best player in the world because of his last season, as he won the Premier League and the UEFA...
And I understand what is the job of a winger, but I'm trying to tell you that positions can't be so restricted like that, because in the modern football you have to do everything, as there are RBs that score goals and great forwards that give assists... I said Ronaldo was a winger because I think he can play better on this place of the field, coming from the midfield and the flanks...
